Professional stained glass installations.

Professional stained glass installations.

What is the importance of stained glass installation in Denver Co? It’s everything! No matter how pretty a stained glass panel, if it isn’t installed professionally, there can be all sorts of problems over the years.

Here at Stained Glass Denver, we use special installation methods that vary, depending on the piece and the location to which it is going to be installed. When it comes to professional stained glass installation, Denver CO homeowners don’t know that much about it, but they know they want to work with a contractor they can trust.

So we’d like to tell you a bit about our professional installation methods. Our main installation is done by bonding the new stained glass panel to the existing pane of glass. This has various benefits. For starters, putting it inside of the existing window pane protects it from the elements. We also run a bead of caulking around the window, in a color to match your frame. This ensures that no dirt or grime will make its way in between the two panes of glass. And it has the added benefit of turning your single paned window into one with the thermal efficiency of a double paned window!

With stained glass installation, Denver CO clients frequently ask us about bathrooms. Is it safe to add stained glass in the bathroom? Will the constant moisture or humidity affect it adversely? Can I add stained glass to the window in my shower, or even to my shower door? Or will it be ruined?

For these types of situations, we use a slightly different installation process. Instead of just adhering the custom stained glass window to the one existing pane of glass, we add a second clear pane of plain glass on the other side. In effect, the stained glass forms the meat in a plain glass sandwich. In this way, the stained glass is protected from the moisture and humidity of the bathroom environment. And it’s super easy to keep clean as well.

By the way, moisture is not generally harmful to glass, even over many years. Just ask your dishwasher. But it can adversely affect the lead strips that hold the piece together, which in turn affects the stability of the entire stained glass panel. We avoid that issue entirely with our professional installation methods.

So when you are looking for the most beautiful custom stained glass, please also consider the experience of the installation.
